Dreamweaver is a excellent tool to use to add photographs or images to your web page. Of course you can use any text editor and type the HTML code and insert images too.

1. Create a new HTML page in Dreamweaver <Ctrl> n

• From the top menu bar, select Insert > Image and go to the folder and file of your image.
4. Make sure that you include the alt text for screen readers.

4. Resize
   1. Select the image
   2. You will see the image properties in the properties panel at the bottom of the screen
   3. Select the Edit Image icon
   4. You will see the Image Preview screen
